How to Clean a Clothes Dryer Vent Video

Every clothes dryer has a vent
to vent the dryer to the outside of the house. The
vent screen at the end of the vent requires
periodic cleaning for the optimum efficiency of the
dryer. Lint particles that escape the dryer lint
trap pass through the vent house and collect at the
vent screen at the end of the house on the outside.
To clean the vent, simply remove the vent screen
from the end of the vent tube and remove the lint.

During winter months the screen
clogs more easily because of the moisture that
collects as the vent tube exit due to the
temperature drop as the warm dryer air exits the
vent. The moisture combines with the lint particles
and clogs the vent.
